Maggie’s Plan

Rebecca Miller

“The kids remove their shoes and greet their mother with great affection. Maggie watches this as she removes her penny loafers. Justine is very tender with her mother. Another person (to the kids): I made you a nice snack and you are allowed to watch one single episode of something ghastly while eating it. But no fighting about what it is, Paul. Justine gets to choose.”

Arcade

Drew Nellins Smith

“I saw people mentioning it in the personals online, but I didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know places like that existed. In the Missed Connections, there were ads that made clear that men were having sexual encounters of some kind there, in what I pictured as a Wild West of promiscuity.”

Siracusa

Delia Ephron

“Promised K I’d get out of it. Had every intention. Mornings I’d lean against the counter drinking coffee watching Lizzie make a smoothie. The speed with which she can do things in the kitchen used to dazzle me—tops popped on plastic containers, bits of banana, blueberries, whatever tossed into the blender. A handful of ice. The freezer kicked shut while she tipped in the soy. Masterful.”
